| Demand for partial AFSPA withdrawal in question | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 4: The Kunzar (Tangmarg) encounter between the security forces and militants, in which two security personnel were killed and three others were injured and militants having managed to escape, has put a question mark on the demand for partial withdrawal of the AFSPA from Jammu and Kashmir. Reports said that the very incident has provoked the BJP to adopt a resolution at its national executive meet in Bengaluru which conveyed to Pakistan in clear terms that talks and terror cannot coexist. Stressing that terror and talks cannot go together, BJP has said India's engagement with Pakistan would be based on strategic interests and enunciated Modi government's foreign policy pillars or "Panchamrit" of dignity, dialogue, security and shared prosperity and culture. In the first-ever separate resolution on foreign policy brought in its National Executive in Bengaluru, BJP attacked the previous Congress-led Government, saying "a cursory glance at the 'lost decade' of the UPA, reveals retreat and a loss of direction in engaging with neighbors, ham-handed diplomacy vis-à-vis Pakistan and a blind-spot in our foreign policy to the Indian Ocean island states. Judged by the tone and tenor of the resolution the possibility of immediate resumption of talks between New Delhi and Islamabad is quite remote. According to these reports, New Delhi will watch the security scenario in weeks to come and on the basis of the ground realities decide whether their channels of talks with Pakistan have to be reopened or shut. |
